Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom a single Summerland vineyard, this gamay was fermented in 17% whole bunch and aged in neutral French oak until bottling unfined and unfiltered. Spiced dark plums, cherries flood a fleshy palate, lashed with cassis and cracked nutmeg. Tannins are supple and fine, leading this to a kirsch kissed end. Though very much in the dark fruit spectrum, this is a suave, medium+ gamay, ready for enjoying now with duck or mushroom braises.Tasted: 28 August 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis is a smart gamay that overcomes the challenges of the 2021 vintage. It shows sappy dark cherry alongside savoury peppery spices, with well judged use of whole clusters (17 percent) that keeps the fruit at the foreground while adding lovely complexity. There's a juiciness that belies the warmth of the growing season, with fine tannins that make this imminently quaffable. Best with a light chill and enjoyed over the next year. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.Tasted: 22 July 2023Tasted by: Prices:
